He transformed my tenth summer--I read all the Chronicles of Prydain that summer and wept when they ended, all too soon.
I remember learning the word "bauble" from the first book.

I just heard on NPR that he's passed away.
He was the creator of some magical children's stories. I so wish I could make such magic.
Were you a friend of Taran the Pig Keeper and Eilonwy?
I wanted to BE Eilonwy.

(BTW, I sort of think he looks like Al, but Al says he looks like a skeleton with a nose. Hmmm....)

I think it's great you wanted to be Princess Eilonwy. I wanted to be Fflewddur Flam!
I loved his books. And I think Al is on to something....
Al is so much better looking than this guy. The only thing they have in common is that they are both skinny Englishmen.
I thought Alexander was English too--but it turns out he's from PA!
